My love for you is everlasting and will never cease! You have loved me unconditionally. You were my life and my world. You colored my world and made it rich and complete. You took my flaws, and shortcomings and allowed me to believe the they were my strengths without trying to change me. You always allowed me to be myself. You helped me become a better man, husband, human and for that I am and will always be forever grateful. Your love, companionship, wit, humor, charm, sincerity, truthfulness and intelligence will never be replaced and I will always miss.
Love Always,
Your Husband Raymond (Rajaee) Haynes

I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to accept the loss of our loved ones. The Bible promises that Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted and he saves those who feel crushed in spirit. (Psalms 34:18) God will give your family and friends the strength to cope with death. He promises to do that for all who sincerely approach him in prayer. (Psalms 34:17) My prayer for you is that you receive the comfort God gives and also you get answers to any questions that you may have regarding the death of your loved one. JW.org
